On Saturday, November 5th, 15,000+ GOOOH members in Texas will meet, in their district, to begin the process of selecting a candidate to compete for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. We intend to challenge each incumbent in the 2012 primaries in March.
Time is running short. We encourage you and every person in your network to sign up to participate in the selection process.
Our plan in Texas is simple:

Good evening Patriots, would anyone be interested in attending one of these trainings?

Thanks

Dorothy

Att" All VTPP Members

VA Senate 21

Tool Box Training (for electioneering)

Get Out The Vote, True The Vote, Phone Banks and Data Lists, etc.

Each session will be offering the same training, so you need attend only one.

This invitation is extended to all VTPP Leaders and all Local Tea Party members in the State of Virginia, so please extend this notice to any of your members who would like to participate.

Hey co-conspirators, we need to get moving on this. I know many of us are involved the primaries, but as we get people involved in the primary push, let's get them dialed into this.

The group is coming in from all over on Friday, September 2nd. Michael Patrick Leahy is coming in from Nashville, Lori Medina and Chad Bollinger are coming in from Dallas, and there may be a couple of others. I will let you know.

We are looking to schedule these 3 events and pull in activist leaders from around the Commonwealth at their nearest location. This group will be presenting tools we can use for our upcoming project. We should be looking to seat 40-50 activists per session from all Tea Party and Patriot groups. This will be an informational session focused on the "hands-on" tools we will have made available for use. All data gathered will be shared with the VATPA. Also, it would be good if VATPA can give us the tutorial on the the Trail Blazer phone system.

We are not going to be feeding folks, we can probably provide some drinks and snacks, if the local Tea Party could do that, it would be great!

We do need all the members of the elections committee to be at least one of these events. This is not going to be one of the things we can just put out an email and hope folks show up. We need to get on the phone and push/pull the right people to this. 40-50 fire-breathing campaign types would be great!

The old adage clearly resonates with most on this mail list. We recently sent a note to several thousand leaders asking for information on what they are working on so we could share the information with other groups. The response was tremendous. While some of us may disagree on certain things, it is clear that most agree with the value of looking for ways to connect with other groups, leverage our resources, and support one another where it makes sense.

Sixty-two percent of Americans say they would like to vote out every member of Congress, according to a recent Rasmussen poll. A mere 6% believe Congress is doing a good job. Less than a third are confident that their own congressman is representing their best interests. Read that again. Isn't it time to do things differently? America is looking for alternatives.

Groups like yours are on the right track, and we'd like to help you reach others.

We have a way to help. GOOOH has almost 100,000 members. We would like to tell them about what you are doing and see if we can help connect you with other like-minded organizations. If you will send us a 50-word explanation of your mission, with a link to your site and/or contact information, we'll send the information not only to all of our members, but to the 3,000+ group leaders we have on this contact list.

We have found it very effective to link leaders in cities and states who are working on similar tasks. As an example, take a look at this flyer our members have begun handing out, highlighting how groups like Oath Keepers, Sheriff Mack, the Abigail Adams Project, and GOOOH are working together. There are other groups focusing on Precinct Chairs, Voter Fraud, Constitutional Studies, State's Rights, Agenda 21, etc. If you will let us know what you are working on, we'll help connect you with others so you can share best practices and ideas, and hopefully become even more effective.

We recently published this Patriot Proclamation in USA Today. It calls on Americans to work together to fire Congress. Our plan to do so has never been more in need, evidenced by the polling numbers provided above.

Over 2.2 million visitors have been to our web site. Why? Because most people understand the system for selecting our leaders has been rigged. There are some good people in office today, but the current system discourages fair competition: it ensures 90% or more of incumbents are re-elected despite numbers like those provided above. Rather than trying to use the corrupt system and protect the 5% who are good, let's fix the system and ensure every incumbent has to compete fairly in an honest primary. Competition makes people stronger. It is the American way. Let's convince our nation to fix this broken system!

GOOOH members will begin selecting candidates to compete in the 2012 primaries this November (in Texas). Other states will follow, running the selection process approximately two months before their filing deadline. We are not a third party – our candidates will compete in the primaries against the incumbent. We would love to have members of your group participate in the selection process. We hope you will get every person you know to join us.

It is time to retake control of our government. It is time to tell the politicians to Get Out Of Our House!

Subject: Tele-Townhall with Senator Jim DeMint TONIGHT!

You are invited to a Tele-TownHall with Senator Jim DeMint (SC) to discuss the US Budget/Debt Ceiling and the Cut, Cap & Balance Pledge.

Please share this with others so that they too can hear what Senator DeMint has to say about the current debt ceiling debate. He has volunteered to do this call because he wants everyone in the grassroots movement to fully understand where we are and why he and so many Constitutional conservatives support the Cut, Cap & Balance Pledge.

Leading the call will be Tea Party Express Chairwoman Amy Kremer, and also joining the call will be special guest Ken Klukowski to discuss the constitutionality of the Cut, Cap & Balance Pledge. You can read more about Ken Klukowski HERE.

Do you have questions or comments for Senator DeMint?

If so, please email alex@lfrusa.com with "DeMint" in the subject line. Please be sure to include your name and town.

The first video promoting GOOOH that receives one million views on YouTube, before 10/1/11, wins.

The winner will need to create a video that conforms to our official contest rules. We're looking for a "Fire Congress" video that goes viral. You can do it! The guidelines are pretty simple but there are a few specifics you do not want to overlook. The legalese, much of it from the YouTube site, is required. You must be a member of GOOOH to enter, but there are no fees or obligationsto become a member, and there are no fees to enter the contest.

We also hope you will take a minute to watch our new video featuring Thomas Paine. It has been very well received by all who have viewed so far. Don't miss his compelling call to action.

We have more surprises planned as we prepare to begin choosing candidates in Texas this November. The rest of the states will choose candidates approximately two months before the filing deadline in their state.

Our intentions are to create competition in every primary next year. The incumbents need to know re-election is not automatic. We are not a third party, but rather a new, non-partisan way to find citizen legislators who will serve the people of their district. I hope you can get all in your network to join us.
